While Gameweek 15 is shaping up to be one to forget for many Fantasy managers, our analysis of the weekend’s statistics for members offers some insight to distract us, notably the growing influence of Yannick Bolasie and West Ham’s efforts to maximise the formidable weapon that is Andy Carroll.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What site has reliable info on price changes these days?

      fff

        I was wondering if you could provide the URL please.

            Thanks mate. 😀

            How do you check the price rises on this site?

            1. BeachBadger
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              you have to log in and go to the 'beat the price rise' section

              1. RabMac
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                I can't find that section.

                1. BeachBadger
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  It's one of the tabs at the top. You have to log in first though I think

                  1. RabMac
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Cheers mate.

                    Had to give my password, which I was not too happy about but eventually got in.

                    1. BeachBadger
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      There's a route you can follow to not give your password but it's a bit annoying alright

                      1. RabMac
                        • 12 Years
                        11 years, 1 month ago

                        Looks good for the price changes but don't rate their fixture analyser or player suggestions.

                      2. BeachBadger
                        • 12 Years
                        11 years, 1 month ago

                        Nah I wouldnt rate that stuff at all. Think it's based solely on fixtures

  2. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A. Yaya & Sakho

    or

    B. Downing & Dzeko

    1. RabMac
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Downing and Sakho

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Need City cover with those fixtures coming up.

    4. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

  3. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A. Aguero ➡ Costa
    or
    B. Aguero ➡ Ings, Marney ➡ Sanchez (-4)
    .
    .
    .
    B leaves me with a 3-5-2 of:

    Yaya - Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Downing

    Rooney - Ings/Austin

    been a whirlwind week or so!! before GW14 I was rank 301k and now I sit on 76k!

    decent chance I stay in the top 100k after tomorrow? I have no more players remaining..

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely.

  5. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why does it feel like Costa gives a replacement (c) pick instead of Sergio but Rooney doesn't...?..Anybody else feeling that way.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be more comfortable with Rooney tbh.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Would you ?...If he plays as a proper attacking player then he's the business...Maybe I'm struggling to shake off these past two years when he's been shifted all over.

    2. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney is as reliable a captain pick as it gets

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No need to captain Costa if you have Hazard (for the home matches at least)

      1. chinmusic
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        If you like to rely on a midfielder classified as a forward

    4. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not me personally. Hazard is a better captaincy choice at the Bridge based on form alone, let alone his potential for double figures.

      When away, if you have Sanchez & Yaya, I think either one will cover your share until the January WC..

      I'd give a better take on Rooney after tomorrow's games

    5. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      other way around.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Mmm..I think I may need to give Rooney a good coat of looking at again.

  6. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    people saying the handball wont be factored in for fabianski's appeal. but surely that has the biggest impact in what happened? sakho pushed the ball passed him with his hand, may not have been a foul otherwise (or at least that cant be said for certain)

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      But that would make sense

  7. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    LORD HUTTON!!!!!!

    😎

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Duff to Hutton before the GW 😀

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        boom, nice!

  8. Snikii
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thank you Hutton for scoring your first goal in 4 years
    Thank you Downing for being able to cross balls that are so good even Carrol can score
    Thank you Bony for proving you can score even when your team isnt playing well
    Thank you Fabinaski for being a piece of SH*T

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It wasn't even Fabiaksi fault

  9. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Are Chelsea challenging Fabregas' card?

    Have the impression they are

    1. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      lol his card was BLATANT

    2. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt Mourinho cares about Fabregas being banned for HUL

    3. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Are you even allowed to challenge a yellow card?

    4. chinmusic
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You can't challenge a yellow.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This

  10. BLACKSHEEP
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Very seriously considering WC'ing. Anyone else?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No chance. My team is great

      1. BLACKSHEEP
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Want to swap?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          NEVER!

          1. BLACKSHEEP
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            My team has a lot of potential, and a fairly decent pedigree... you know you want it!

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me, won't be able to field a full XI, let alone a good one.
      But will be content w/o the taking hits & having the WC for DGW's.
      Plus this coming GW will be very "punty" if you may. Hit's may or not pay off on the forwards spots

      1. BLACKSHEEP
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting. The main reason I havent played my wildcard to date is because ive held out this long, and january is just around the corner...

        will have to think about it though, my team is in a dire state!

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If only I still had one.

  11. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero and Siggy to Rooney and Yaya

    Aguero and Tadic to Bony and Yaya

    1. thecule
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B. Siggy is still worth keeping imo, he has his moments

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    chelsea or city def?

    thinking ivan or kompany

    zaba/azpil to potentially be rotated?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea, Terry.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think Hart is the best City defender

    3. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be very surprised to see Azpi getting rotated. I'd go Ivan for goal threat regardless though.

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Courtois and Hart are the best two picks for over Christmas...

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      thanks

    6. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be Chelsea IMO, Matic is back, don't doubt that backline against Hull 😉

  13. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    has everyone solf aguero or waiting?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Waiting to drop

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Will sell. Waiting for UCL fixtures first. Leaning towards Lukaku

    3. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Waiting, would be crazy to sell him before confirmation surely

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      waiting until after the United game tomorrow and confirmation that he's out at least 2 weeks

  14. thecule
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    With Aguero now injured, who's the next best premium striker to go to? Rooney, or Costa?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Costa imo

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I already have Costa..Thinking about Rooney or Benteke

    3. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      costa surely. better fixtures and better team.

    4. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not Costa 😉

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney or Bony. Costa a yellow card magnet, not in great form, no BPS, and Fab not there to pass to him

    6. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      There aren't any premium strikers this season, bar aguero.

  15. Willis.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard and Austin rotate perfectly for captaincy.
    HUL, WBA, WHM, CPL, SWA, NEW

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, Hazard is still too unreliable though to be capping every home game

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ...what?

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        you know you will get one massive haul though

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Had him (c) last year for his first massive haul 😀

      3. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        look at his home form

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe I've been swayed too much by his away form

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      hutton c

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Terrific

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      But it's madness captaining a 6m player :rollseyes:

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      (Grabs notebook)

    5. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      problem is they arent reliable enough to count on a captain every time

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Austin's fairly reliable, at home anyway

      2. Willis.
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Both are very reliable at home

        1. Willis.
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Last 4 home matches:
          Hazard: 9, 11, 10, 11
          Austin: 6, 10, 7, 13

        2. ZiDan
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed. I captained Austin this week and Hazard last week. See no reason to stop yet!

  16. So Klose
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who will play RB for Arsenal vs Newcastle?

    Bellerin or Debuchy?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin imo. Debuchy will play UCL.

      1. So Klose
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Shoudn´t ir be the otherway around?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Debuchy has been injured for a while and I think Wenger will play him for the meaningless game against Gala.

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If Debuchy gets minutes during CL, I think he could start vs Newcastle

      1. So Klose
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Would you do a Chambers --> Debuchy swap?

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Nope, wait.

  17. Van Dal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Would you guys take a -4 to take out fabianksi or play without a keeper?

    Been getting mixed views when i ask this?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      -4

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pros and cons to both. Depends who you will replace him with. Only courtois or hart would be worth it IMO

      1. Van Dal
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Dont hink i want to shell out so much for a keeper. Fabianski has hull and AVL when he returns.

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Then you have answered your question. Stick

          1. Van Dal
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Aye maybe and at least he wont get a minus score 😆

            Thanks

            this is true

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      unless it is hart/courtois in you should play without a keeper

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      -4

    Bleh,
    Unless somehow Rooney draws a total blank of zero points tomorrow, I'll be out of the FFS Cup, despite a score of 46 points.

    Opponent, ranked 787K, boosted by Clichy 2 BAP, Downing 2 BAP and me sinking just a bit by Hutton's yellow card costing a point and losing a BAP

    Morning all.

    If you have one more FT, would you use it on

    A. Fab
    B. Kun
    C. Austin

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B, sadly

    2. Puyol Pants Up

      B

    3. Zasa

      B easily, long term concern

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

    For drama I think this week has been the best FPL week in a very long time...The polar opposite of GW8's joy when 100pts plus was common, but none the worse for that.

      Yeah, been a good one for drama. Enjoyed the bad weather gw last year as well.

        Oh aye...I remember it well. I was sat under that storm as it passed over towards Liverpool. I commented all afternoon that there wouldn't be a hope in hell of that match at Goodison being played. All the Southern FPL players ignored me..

        The bad weather weekend beats this one just barely.

      I got 46 points GW8. That's why I don't like my team, it's such an embarrassing score.

    Aguero + Chadli > Lukaku + Yaya?

    Yay or nay?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yay

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not sold on Yaya yet, will need to check his stats.

        1. Kurtinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Who would you recommend as a midfield replacement for Chadli if you had unlimited funds? Already have Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy and Boyd. Has to be Yaya right?

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yay(a)

    3. Flicks A Foden

      would you still do this for -4? or wait to see if chadli picks up form

  22. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Would you start Heaton(SOT) ?

    1. Root
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sure

  23. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas and Fabianski -> Yaya and Guzan (-4)

    Already own Oscar, Azpi and Lord Hutton

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Or do Fabianski -> Hart??

  24. Captain Shirokov

    Tbh, it was always only a matter of time before Aguero got injured again.

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It was looking so perfect to be true

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      bad news that he is injured but atleast the game gets interesting now

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, very sad. I think the thing that makes him great, his low centre of gravity and massively strong legs, is actually the thing that kills him...I'm no physio but he's somewhat unique in his build and movement.

      1. Willis.
        • 14 Years

        Messi? Tevez? Maradona? Aguero is hardly unique. Just another above average Argentinian.

    Foster
    Bertrand-Azpi-Clichy-Wisdom-Chambers*
    Haz-Fab*-Sanchez-Downing-Ameobi
    Aguero*-Bony-Austin*

    Fab > Yaya and Aguero > Costa OR
    Ameobi> Yaya and Aguero > Benteke (keep fab)

    Wow, 24 pts with 1 to play, rooney

    Rest of ML has no United but have southampton Clyne/Pelle/Forster etc...

    A United win with heavy Rooney involvement please

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney brace would help mightily

  27. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kun, Chambers & Austin definitely not dropping tonight ? Gonna cost me otherwise.

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like Fab, Valencia, and Moses most likely to fall. You should be safe

  28. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What are your guys on thoughts on Lukaku as a potential Aguero replacement? Leaning towards him..

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      think i prefer bony

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Already have him 😉

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 1 month ago

      A good shout. QPR at home = big haul

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Could be a great differential. Seeing if Dzeko plays lone striker midweek. If he does I'll pick him instead.

  29. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    1) Dzeko, Silva
    2) Sakho, Yaya Toure

    Assume Silva is fit. I think he'll play midweek.

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      2 although both have risk. Sakho not nailed, and both in 1 may not be ready to play (not to mention they have CL game midweek.

  30. Robben Mee Blind

    Considering Chambers, Siggy & Kun to Naylor, Yaya & Bony for a hit, but just realised that Swansea have Spurs at home next. Anyone else think Siggy could run riot with having a point to prove? Might hold off on Yaya for a week! (Or do Fab to Yaya instead, but can see that coming back to haunt me!)

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      wouldn't sell Siggy.
